Chapter 25 I send you home 2
He should leave already, why is he here? Jamie thinks.
Dan looks cold again, as if the gentleness before is just an illusion. He looks at the draft on Jamie’s desk, asks,” Haven’t finished
your work?”
“Yes.” Jamie stands in awkwardness. She doesn’t know where to look at, so she can only looks down to her feet.
Dan glances around and finds few papers are in the bin. Those should be the unqualified works, but they seem to be wet. Dan
thinks.
“Continue.” Dan says.
Jamie takes a look at Dan, and finds him sit on the sofa already. Jamie has doubt, but she needs to finish her draft first.
Jamie hasn’t started long, then she feels someone is watching her. She knows it’s Dan, but that makes her felt uncomfortable, so
Jamie looks up to watch back.
However, Jamie only sees that Dan is reading the newspaper, his sight seems fixed on it, not her.
Jamie frowns with doubt, did she just have illusion? She thinks. Then Jamie focus on the draft again.
Dan’s eyes turns away from the side of the newspaper and looks at Jamie, who is working hard, then there is a light smile on his
lips.
Maybe it’s because of the awkward atmosphere, Jamie finishes her draft at 8:30.
Tidy up her desk, stretching out. Jamie doesn’t know what to do next.
Dan is still reading the paper.
Jamie want to tell Dan that she is going to leave, but seeing how concentrated Dan is, Jamie is afraid of disturbing him. If Dan
gets mad of that, it will be the worst.
Thinking of what Shawn said, “If you provoke the president, the entire company will suffer”, Jamie doesn’t have the gut to talk to
Dan. She doesn’t know what to do.
Dan glances to Jamie, seeing how Jamie is in hesitation. He decides to trick Jamie.
Dan doesn’t say a word, and he wants to see how long Jamie can last without asking.
It’s 9pm now.
Jamie frowns and looks at Dan. Dan still pretends to read the newspaper.
“President William, it’s already 9 o’ clock.” Jamie says.
“I know.” Dan answers and keeps reading.
“Don’t you need to go home?’ Jamie gets hurried when she sees Dan is still calm and relaxed.
Of course Dan understands what Jamie means. Is that because someone is waiting her home? That’s why she is in hurried?
Dan thinks.
Frowning and feeling jealous, Dan puts down the newspaper and walks out the office, “Leave now.”
Jamie feels glad, putting her draft into her bag. She follows along.
Inside the elevator.
Dan leans against the elevator, thinking.
Jamie stands behind him and looks at Dan. Smiling bitterly.
He is Ian’s father, but I can’t never let him know this secret.
Ding. The elevator reaches the first floor.
“Goodbye, president William.” Jamie says to Dan and tries to walk out from the elevator.
Dan grabs her wrist and says, “ I drive you home.” “It’s late now, you can’t call a taxi here.” Dan says in supplementary.
